Kawabata Makoto INUI
1 CD
Long-planned reissue of
Kawabata’s first solo LP, from way back in 2000 (about 100
releases ago, in Kawabata terms). Originally released by the mighty
SIWA label in a tiny, hand printed edition of 300, this has long been
the most sought-after Kawabata item, pretty much impossible to track
down without a wallet full of ebay slush funds. The music, as on all of
Kawabata’s INUI series releases, is intensely personal and
introspective, with long tracks built up of soft-focus layers of mid-fi
violin, sarangi, oud, sitar, bouzouki, etc. French film maker and
musician Audrey Ginestet lends her crystal voice to
“Shin.” Our new limited reissue is packaged in a
fabulous 6 color, hand-screened mini-gatefold printed by Alan Sherry of
SIWA. 3 Tracks, 42 Minutes.
Kawabata Makoto: violin, sarangi, oud, sitar, bouzouki, lyra, shou,
nei, voice, Audrey Ginestet: voice on “Shin”
